Gold Brick
One of the bomb shelters at Thorpe Abbotts. Mostly ground crew on break. Note the small English lads standing against the building. The small child leaning against Nissen Hut is Ray Gibson.Inconceivable as it may seem in our age civilians lived near and sometimes on the base. The natural love of children of the Americans was never more obvious than during WWII. They shared their food with them and lavished gifts for them at Christmas and other holidays. Sam Hurry who lived just at the edge of the base recalled the day the 100th went home in 1945 as one of the saddest days in his life. (100th Photo Archives)
